Quote (Colter @ May 01 2012,13:06)Kerwin<2 Timothy 3:16  (“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness” ) was not yet “scripture” when it was written.But the entire Old Testament, including the great flood of Noah's day, was a part of the “All scripture” that Paul said was…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 30 2012,16:21)Gene,That is not what Scripture states.  Scripture explicitly states “Enoch is not because God took him”.  On the other hand it states those Father's who were not still living had died.Genesis 5:24 NET © Enoch walked with God, and then he disappeared 1  because God took 2  him away.Footnote #2 says:The text simp…[Read more]

2 Kings 2:11………..and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.Is that not a scripture, Nick?

And what scripture is it that tells us YOUR understanding is the correct one, Nick?  Which scripture tells us that Peter was possessed by a demon?   Does it really make sense to you that Jesus was driving out demons left and right, yet didn't bother to drive out the one possessing his beloved friend?   Nick, I don't even know why I bother with yo…[Read more]

Scripture is “tiny” in your mind, isn't it Nick?  What a shame.

Quote (Nick Hassan @ April 30 2012,15:54)Hi GB, No Jesus spoke to the demon in Peter.I don't believe Peter had a demon.  I believe Jesus was making a point that whoever would stand in the way of God's will was working with Satan, and not God – even if their intentions were good.I think it was sort of like if I was moderating this site like a…[Read more]

Nick,The question of this thread has been answered. Jehovah took the man Elijah to heaven.And although it is not spelled out exactly for you, it is evident that God also took Enoch to heaven.Genesis 5:24 NET © Enoch walked with God, and then he disappeared 1 because God took 2 him away.Footnote #2 says: The text simply states that God took…[Read more]

Quote (Frank4YAHWEH @ April 30 2012,11:18)Take your foolishness and present it to Mike and t8, since they seem to be the ones that you have the most fun with!I'm with you on this one, Frank. What else would God have “begotten”? A daughter? There is no doubt that “son” is implied in the teaching.

Yes Nick.SOME are goats, while SOME are sheep. SOME will be the least in heaven while SOME will be greater. SOME receive the heavenly calling, while SOME will inherit the earth. SOME will help rule with Jesus while SOME will be subject to that rule.

Uh oh, Nick. Ed's beliefs are more aligned with YOURS! That must mean YOU GUYS are the ones on the wide road! See what I mean, Nick? Those kinds of comments are absolutely senseless and useless.

Revelation 8:3………..on the golden altar before the throne.Revelation 9:13……….the golden altar that is before God.I don't see any mention of a different altar in Revelation. The only one I notice is the one that is before the throne of God Himself. Should we not use our God-given logic to deduct that this is also the altar that the…[Read more]

Read Revelation to find out, Nick. I assume it is the altar that is before God and the four beings.And there is no “final resting place” mentioned for Enoch or Elijah, because they are alive and dwelling in heaven.Nick, I've shown you the scriptures. You can either believe them or not. I don't have time for the games, okay?

No Nick,Many scriptures bear witness to the facts. It's just that I align my beliefs with those facts, to which the scriptures bear witness.Again, comments like that are senseless and petty. Dig deeper.

Apparently not unless I'm agreeing with HIM.  Ed, I know that we don't truly agree anyway.  In words, yes, but in reality, no.Unless of course you believe that Jesus was the first being God ever created – the one through whom God then created all other things.This is what I believe, and many scriptures bear witness.I believe that the living, i…[Read more]

Quote (kerwin @ April 29 2012,16:12)Mike,These are just your points of irrationality………………..Yeah Kerwin, I'M the irrational one. Here I sit with more than 50 scriptures that point to Jesus' pre-existence, while you sit there with NO scriptures, but only your personal WISH for Jesus to not have pre-existed………………and I'M the…[Read more]
